Demolish any sized stump!

With the power of a world-class DR engine with 11.1 ft-lbs of gross torque and carbide-tipped cutting teeth, the Premier Stump Grinder has the power to reduce any stump to wood chips. It's the quickest, easiest way to remove eyesores and tripping hazards!

Unlike commonly available grinders that are heavy and cumbersome, the DR Stump Grinder is light, without sacrificing strength and durability. Constructed of 12-gauge steel, it is light enough for anyone to handle.

So, why accept those landscape eyesores on your property? Eliminate stumps the easy way and open up new possibilities—expand lawn areas; open up fields and meadows; blaze new trails; and remove mowing hazards.

Simple Operation

Position the DR Stump Grinder over a stump, lock one wheel in place with the wheel brake, engage the cutting head, and pivot easily from side to side, shaving off an inch or so with each pass. Reposition the machine and repeat until the entire stump is reduced to a pile of wood chips.

Oversized tires roll over rough terrain

These lugged high-flotation tires make for easy transport and give the machine full support during operation. Large size (15" x 4.75") helps to keep machine elevated over wood chips during operation.

Mining-grade teeth

The cutter head features 8 steel teeth that are tipped with mining-grade tungsten carbide a material 10 times harder than steel and which is used for drilling through bedrock. Spinning at 2800 rpm, these teeth take a remarkable 360 "bites" per second!

Engine

An easy-starting DR OHV engine (208cc) with 11.1 ft-lbs of gross torque (per SAE J1940) has the muscle to power through hardwood stumps of any size.

Control the wheel brakes and engine throttle right from the handle bars. Lock one wheel in place while you pivot the machine back and forth to grind away a stump. Unlock and reposition as needed, right from your working position.

Have ground 17 stumps out so Far and still have about 50 to go, It is awesome because I am 77 years old and don't have much trouble using it at all. Would be much better if it came with oil, I had go out and buy oil because the tune up kit I ordered whitch had the oil in it didn't come until I had all 17 stumps out. So dr put a quart of oil in with the product.....

I finally fired this machine up today and it made quick work of the stumps I had on the ground. I was expecting it to be loud and vibrate a lot while chewing up the stumps. It was just the opposite. My lawn mower is louder and it was such a smooth machine. I had to stop and look to make sure I was grinding stumps and not dirt. I’d recommend this to anyone that wants to clean up in a hurry.

Bought the smallest sized stump grinder. Have only used it once on a small to medium stump. The machine worked well taking the stump down 4-5 inches below ground. Plan on doing multiple stumps in the near future.

I've never used or even seen a stump grinder before, but when I got the price for clearing my yard, I realized I might as well just buy my own. So, this thing is a beast. Based on time estimates I received for commercial work, it seems to be comparable. It's a bit of hard work grinding stumps, but this thing chews 'em up. It's a serious tool.

Assembly was a little more difficult than necessary as the directions called out removing the tires in order to install handlebars, etc. was able to assemble without tire removal but why not just ship without the tires if that is the case Other than that it works well once you get past the learning curve. It's well built and have removed several stumps with it already

Assembly was a little bit frustrating the way the user's manual suggests connecting the throttle cable is just wrong. No need to take off the air filter assy. if the appropriate set of attachment points is used. I can only guess that the manual was written for a different engine. I've used it on 4 stumps so far and was impressed how smooth the cutting action was. Just don't try to take off too much in one pass. Found that I'm not using the pivoting brake at all. The main hassle is the unit getting stuck on the pile of chips it's creating I found the need to shut down and remove the pile several times on all but the smallest of stumps. A design flaw proving to be problematic is that the belt case is open on the underside chips are able to contact the belt. In the case of a pine stump I removed, enough of the sticky pine pitch chips adhered to the belt/pulleys to cause the belt to turn inside-out and run that way. Had to chisel the built-up chips out of the pulleys!

The machine works fine. There is no fighting the machine while it is running as I had expected. The grinder takes care of the stumps in a reasonable amount of time. I had a couple trees in my yard that gave me fits when I cut them down with my chain saw. But my stump grinder is taking them down below ground level with little problem.

A.Thank you for contacting us. There is minimal assembly required for the DR Stump Grinder. You will need to attach the brake and the handlebars, add gas and oil, then you'll be set to go! It shouldn't take more than 30-40 minutes. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions.
